Best Budget Tablets for Occasional Use: Top Picks!

Hey everyone, my job sometimes requires a tablet, but not regularly, so I don't want to ask my company for one.  At the same time, I'd love to use one for reading and note-taking.  I'm hesitant to buy an expensive one since I know I'll only use it occasionally.  So, I'm looking for recommendations!  Are there any good tablets out there that aren't iPads and won't break the bank? I'm not fixated on a specific budget, but I definitely don't want to overspend for limited use.  Any suggestions for reliable, affordable tablets perfect for basic tasks like reading and note-taking would be greatly appreciated!  Many people are now turning to Android tablets for their affordability and versatility, offering a wide range of options from brands like Samsung, Lenovo and Amazon.  These often come with long battery life, making them ideal for reading ebooks on the go.  Consider factors like screen size (8-10 inches is a good range for portability and readability), storage capacity (depending on your needs), and processor speed.  With so many options available, finding the perfect budget-friendly tablet for your needs is easier than ever!
